[color=#000000ost_uid0]^ The spanking is familiar -- one swat for each year, and one extra "to grow on" (yeah, right! :eyeroll: -- you're just getting off on this, aren't you?), but the "bumps", as described, are new to me. Maybe it's more a regional thing, or associated with a particular national origin?[/colorost_uid0]

[quoteost_uid0="Kira"][color=#000000ost_uid0]Good question, and one which will have to be answered by our panel international forumgoers. The way I remember it, someone grabs your arms and legs, then violently tosses you up and down (without letting go, one hopes) once for each year. There's probably different variations.[/colorost_uid0][/quoteost_uid0]

Hands up for a road trip to Saskatoon.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Meh. I can always plead self-defense later in court.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid14][quoteost_uid14]Phlox: But you could survive if I rendered you all comatose. Because a mindless physical phenomenon cares whether you're awake or not.

...
Mayweather: Now, pay very close attention. See the flashing red light here?
Phlox: Yes?
Mayweather: I want you to figure out what it means and tell me when I wake up.

...
[iost_uid14]The situation also allows me to go skipping rope down the corridors whenever I please without fear of discovery.[/iost_uid14]

T'Pol: It's not that I don't believe you, it's that I represent the fact that you don't believe you.

[color=#000000ost_uid0]That was great. Brightened my day....

Thanks, Zeker...er Zeke.

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Can't...write... Still laughing... too hard.

I can't say I'm quite the Metroid freak, but thirty hours on Metroid Prime allowed me to find the Samus scenes my favorite. (Powerups. Hehe. Oh no, laughing again...)

Loved the continuing Mayweather insults (he gets more lines here than on the show!), and the Insectoids, though I spent about five minutes translating them.

I never saw, "One," though. I suppose I'll just have to read the fiver and treat it as canonical. That should make for some interesting conversations with [iost_uid0]Voyager[/iost_uid0] fans. ("When have we ever seen the computer sing?" "In One, stupid!" "Sure... [looks for an exit in case I pull a knife])

Thanks for another great fiver, Zeke!

It's better than in Singapore, where we have something called the [iost_uid0]tau pok[/iost_uid0] in certain college cultures. What they do is basically wrestle a guy to the ground, then have the rest of the class jump on top of him one after another, ending only when the last person on the pile can't stay on it without additional help.

I suspect that if done regularly, it would be a good way to get rid of excess fats.

It's a practise which is mostly peculiar to the male half of the population, although I've done it once in an all-girls [iost_uid0]tau pok[/iost_uid0] on one of my fellow councillor's birthday...[/colorost_uid0]

[Gatac]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Pft.

We are the Germans. Lower your voices and surrender your beer keg. Your bar will adapt to service us. Parties as you have known them are over. Party games are futile.

And every fantasy every guy ever had about an all-girls' school is confirmed.

What's that, Zeke? PG rating? What PG rating?[/colorost_uid0]

[Gatac]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Pft. Rating, shmating.

Gatac[/colorost_uid0]

[admiral sab]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]there's a rating?

If 5MV had a rating what would it be? I say a 10/10. if this were a Jim Review 5 stars!

Sab, obviously attempting to get my post count up. [/colorost_uid0]

[Zeke]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Why thank you, Sab!

Sa'ar, these are the forums, not a fiver -- nobody said anything about a PG rating. PG-13, perhaps.[/colorost_uid0]

Excellent! *ahem* Boobies! Gratuitous violence! Dennis Franz' ass!

OK, I'm done.[/colorost_uid0]

Ooh, gratuitous violence! My favourite! Where do I sign up?
